When system cheat becomes rampant!

In the eyes of the Alliance, Liangzhou University is affiliated with the Alliance.

No matter how Luo Yunxian mentored Xiang Beifei, Xiang Beifei had arrived at Liangzhou University through the system established by the Alliance, and still belonged to those cultivated by the Alliance.

Therefore, Mu Yiqing brought up this fact, intentionally or otherwise.

Xiang Beifei looked at Mu Yiqing indifferently and then asked, "Then, what are the values of the Alliance?"

"Positive and upward, striving hard, looking up to you," Mu Yiqing smiled. "To let them understand that even N-level Awakeners can make a name for themselves!"

"Is that so?" Xiang Beifei remained unmoved.

The motivational speeches poured down on them, set after set.

But in this system society, how many N-level Awakeners could truly reach a position like his? A person's future had basically been determined the moment they interacted with the Awakening System.

Up until now, the number of N-level Awakeners who had made a name for themselves could be counted on one's fingers.

Xiang Beifei could see everyone's system, and he was well aware of how much influence a system had on a person. An SSR Awakener could become stronger by simply speaking a few words anywhere, while an N-level might work hard all their life and still may never enter the Qi-Controlling phase.

The situation of the system world is just that realistic.

Working hard and striving, looking up to Xiang Beifei, was just chicken soup that the Alliance used to comfort the N-level Awakeners.

The higher-level Awakeners would always suppress the lower-level ones, squeezing from the latter to complete their own system tasks.

But Xiang Beifei did not argue with Mu Yiqing; he did not need to.

Mu Yiqing did not know about Xiang Beifei's abilities or what he was thinking and continued to say:

"The Alliance needs to take care of people from all walks of life and will not abandon any N-level Awakener. Everything we do is to make the life of Jiuzhou people better. You are the Awakener with the highest talent in history among N-levels. The Alliance has cultivated you, and now the Alliance also hopes that you can convey the Alliance's values to your 'Option' fan club and guide them correctly. What do you think?"

Mu Yiqing's gaze shone with eagerness as she looked at Xiang Beifei, waiting for his response.

"Do you think I have that ability?" asked Xiang Beifei.

Mu Yiqing continued, "You should also know one thing, in this world, the highest status does not belong to those entertainment stars, but to scientific researchers and martial artists. However, the superstars constructed online usually come from the literary Dao, and these are not the values advocated by our Alliance. You, as a martial artist with a special identity and powerful talent, are more attractive than those literary stars, which is why our Alliance hopes you can do something meaningful."

In the eyes of the common people, no matter how famous literary stars become, they are just seasonings in life after all. Though it's the literary Dao that dominates daily life, the ones who are truly respected are scientific researchers and martial artists!

The status of scientific researchers and martial artists is the highest.

Most of those engaged in scientific research invent various high-tech solutions to fight the beast tides, contributing greatly in defending Jiuzhou.

And martial artists possess the strength to kill desolate beasts.

If a beast tide arrives, those who can help them avoid calamity are not the stars, but the martial artists.

Being able to fight desolate beasts is what's most important.

But martial artists seldom package themselves as stars; they don't have the spare time for that.

Xiang Beifei, a martial artist who embodies handsomeness, intelligence, and strength, became famous overnight and directly outshone all the literary stars, with incredibly strong influence.

This was also the reason Mu Yiqing sought out Xiang Beifei.@@novelbin@@

Xiang Beifei was silent for a long while before saying, "All right."

Mu Yiqing's eyes brightened, "You agree?"

"I don't have a choice, do I?" said Xiang Beifei.

A glint briefly passed through Mu Yiqing's gaze as she smiled and said, "I like dealing with smart people."

"But remember, I am a martial artist, and I do not like wasting time," said Xiang Beifei.

Being a star requires participating in various commercial activities and running all over the place.

Xiang Beifei had no interest in doing such things; he preferred to spend his time on cultivation.

"All right," Mu Yiqing smiled.

That Xiang Beifei agreed meant that the Alliance had taken the initiative. Being able to keep an eye on Luo Yunxian's disciple could control Luo Yunxian to an extent. It was a good start.

"Then, when there's time next, we should talk more," Mu Yiqing stood up and said to Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei did not speak.

"Really not going to invite me up to sit?" Mu Yiqing asked again, not giving up.

"There's no room," said Xiang Beifei.

Mu Yiqing pouted and said, "All right then, I won't disturb your gathering."

She gave Xiang Beifei a meaningful smile and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Do you really think I don't know what you're up to?"

Xiang Beifei watched as Mu Yiqing's figure vanished, talking to himself.

He would not be blinded by temporary advantages. The higher a person was lifted, the more tragic their fall would be.

The majority of reasons why the Alliance would elevate him were out of wariness of Elder Luo, wanting to watch over his proud disciple in such a way.

Now, behind the scenes, the Alliance didn't know how many eyes were watching him, using various powerful system abilities to monitor his every move, countless system-summoned cameras lay in wait in the shadows.

By doing this, they could control Xiang Beifei on one hand and utilize his influence to manage other lower-level Awakeners on the other. To them, it was two birds with one stone.

So Xiang Beifei could just go with the flow.

Mu Yiqing thought that if she could coax Xiang Beifei into her camp, she would be able to use her means to restrain Elder Luo. In her opinion, Xiang Beifei, a student, couldn't make any significant waves because there were many in the Alliance who were stronger than him. Even if Xiang Beifei harbored any ambitions, countless UR-level individuals would step forward to suppress him.

But she was still too naive.

These so-called Alliance geniuses never understood one thing.

Xiang Beifei wasn't just a simple System Awakener.

He was the System Terminator!

Xiaohei specialized in dealing with all that flashy system nonsense.

Thinking they could easily ensnare Xiang Beifei, these people had oversimplified their view of him.

"By doing this, you have actually handed over the initiative to me," Xiang Beifei said.

The Alliance gave him just one choice, to stand with them and help manage N-level Awakeners, and to just obey orders.

But Xiang Beifei had more than one option.

Though N-level Awakeners had lesser talent, almost no cultivation level, and were no match for high-level system users.

The advantage of N-level Awakeners lay in their numbers, making up more than half the total population—they were this world's main force!

High-level Awakeners appeared formidable only in relation to the lower levels. If the low levels were gone, where would the high-level Awakeners' sense of superiority come from?

Therefore, N-level Awakeners were crucial; whoever had the N-levels commanded the world.

In Mu Yiqing's eyes, N-level Awakeners were just a small flame, showing signs of burning but easily snuffed out.

But in Xiang Beifei's eyes, a single spark could start a prairie fire.

What was missing now was just a gust of wind.

"Xiaohei, remember this He Caiwei," Xiang Beifei said, petting Xiaohei's head.

Mu Yiqing might not even realize that before she came here, the words she exchanged with He Caiwei were all recorded in the system.

[He Caiwei's words about suppressing Xiang Beifei, speech value +15]

[He Caiwei's words expressing resistance to Luo Yunxian, speech value +21]

[He Caiwei's words on how to deal with Luo Yunxian, speech value +27]

...

The entire string of conversations between Mu Yiqing and He Caiwei was logged clearly in Mu Yiqing's system journal.

Xiang Beifei had also heard of this He Caiwei.

The commander of the Alliance Beast Tide Defense Department, Elder Luo's successor.

Not focusing on his primary duties, he was intent on dealing with those who had retired like Elder Luo and even bothered to target someone as irrelevant as Xiang Beifei.

"I have time to pick up a package," Xiang Beifei said nonchalantly.

"Woof woof woof!" Xiaohei barked contentedly.

Xiang Beifei returned to Kong Daming's home. Everyone was still inside, talking away and hadn't noticed that Xiang Beifei had just run downstairs a moment ago.

"Xiaofei is now a big star; we all might have to rely on you in the future!" Kong Daming said with a laugh.

"Isn't being a star tiring? I heard you have to shoot all sorts of films every day," Lu Zhiwei said.

"That won't do! Beifei needs to cultivate. Martial Daoists can't waste time on such things, and I think Beifei wouldn't do that either," Lu Hong said seriously.

He understood Xiang Beifei quite well. Before the college entrance exams, Xiang Beifei had been learning Rapid Flame from him. He knew that Xiang Beifei was a diligent kid.

Chen Xiuqin said with a smile, "I won't keep it from you, these past few days, I've received so many calls from talent agencies. Knowing I'm acquainted with Xiaofei, they keep asking about his availability for commercial activities, offering handsome sums of money to get Xiaofei to sign with their company."

"What did you tell them?" Kong Daming asked.

"Of course, I told them we'd consider it. How could I make a decision on such a matter? I still have to ask Xiaofei's opinion," Chen Xiuqin replied, also smiling.

She hadn't agreed to anyone, but she hadn't outright refused either. She always left her son a choice.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiang Beifei said, "I do need to cultivate and don't have time for those things. However, I could start a column when I have some free time to teach everyone how to kill desolate beasts, so they won't be caught off guard when faced with such situations."

Since he had already decided to go against certain individuals in the Alliance, he needed to utilize his identity to properly guide everyone, securing a place for himself in the hearts of Jiuzhou's common folk.

Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Right, many civilians, living in inland cities, have a very superficial understanding of desolate beasts, and most lack a sense of crisis. Your idea is good."

Powerful desolate beasts are a common sight for martial Daoists, but are rarely encountered by civilians. Xiang Beifei, as a martial Daoist, promoting martial Dao activities was very appropriate.

"That sounds great; I'll help you promote it. You're a martial Daoist, so you should do it in the way of a martial Daoist. I think a lot of people would prefer to see how you kill various desolate beasts, especially ones at the Meridian Opening stage, as it would attract more fans," Chen Xiuqin added.

Being a semi-entertainment industry professional, she was well-acquainted with many stars and knew exactly how to market. As Xiang Beifei's number one fan mom, Chen Xiuqin was more than willing to package Xiang Beifei in all aspects.

"It's not just them; I want to learn too," Kong Xiuwen said, looking forward to it.

Xiang Beifei had a knack for killing desolate beasts, almost always delivering a fatal blow in a single strike, making for a highly watchable experience. He would just need to show everyone how to exploit the beasts' weaknesses to achieve victory.

It was settled then. Xiang Beifei wouldn't need to do much. Once the next term started and he went on missions to the outer realms, he could make a few videos killing Meridian Opening desolate beasts when he had the time, and leave the rest of the promotion and post-production work to Chen Xiuqin.
